INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Active, and Firm Tone to Prices on
All Leading Staples.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. %.
In nearly all departments, to-day, trade was
active. and prices firm. The provision market
has fully recovered from the weak tone of last
week, and with this the demand has increased
handsomely. Lard, to-day, sold at G. 45c; short
ribs st Soc, sweetpickled shoulders at s. IS &c,
and sweet-pickled hams at IS 10c. In gro
ceries good trade is in progress. The market
value of roasted coffees retreats slowly, while
sugars are firm and tending higher. Canned
goods are moving freely at stronger prices and
are regarded as good property. and there is a
confident feeling that larger prices will
soon be realized One grocer says
that sugars are to be scarce and
higher, as the supply on the market is daily on
the decrease. This grows out of the coal hand
lers' strike at Jersey City, which has forced
some of the reineries to partially shut down,
and more will if the strike continues The prod
uce men are having a fair trade. The commits
sion men still getting 26 to % cents per dozen
for eggs while the shippers will pay but % cents
The poultry market is a little weak. not from
large arrivals so much as from falling Of in
the demand both for home and Eastern con
sumption. Druggists are having brisk trade,
and prices firm in nearly all articles they
handle. The iron and hardware markets are
fairly active, with tendency to higher prices in
all descriptions of hardware and iron goods
The hide market presents little more activity,
but no improvement in prices is noticeable.
GRAIN.
The firm tone of the local market of Monday
was noticeable to-day, ana was well maintained
up to the close Of the market. The Board of
Trade Price Current says:

demand for spot deliveries at shade higher
prices. Receipts more liberal Futures steady.

become apparent that heart disease of four
or five different kinds, consumption, epil-
epsy, rheumatism, and insanity should
often result. Further, let it be supposed
that of the people using it some should 90
home and kill their wives and children,
others should be incapable of taking care Of
themselves, and should fall into rivers and
excavations, or lie down and sleep on rail-
ways; and that others should become reck-
less, squandering their property, and finally
should be attacked by the most terrible
form of delirium. Take it for granted,
also, that many of all classes became SO
fascinated that they could not keep away
from the places where it was solids it to
be believed that there would be one citizen
not pecuniarily interested in the sale of the
drug who would not demand it's suppress
sion by law? Nay; the people would not
bear the laws delay, but would break up
the dens and Stay those who sold this
poison. Yet this is what the liquor traffic
does. To say that the state has no right
to prohibit its sale as beverage is to utter
something that never would have been con-
ceived except under the operation of that
principle of human nature which invents
plausible excuses and reasons for what it
is not willing to renounce.- Christtaas Ad-

A Prison Court. Martial.

Aug. Fl was the anniversary of one
of the most remarkable military trials
ever recorded in this or any other coun-
try, says the Indianapolis Journal.
Twenty-four years ago there were i'm
prisoned in the old tobacco warehouse
in Richmond known as Libby prison q
party of United States officers. Some
were OF the regular service, some of
the volunteer army. Among them was
General Streight, an Indianian. At
that time he had planned a wholesale
escape from prison, the capture
of the guard, and the battery out
side the walls, and the subsequent
release of the prisoners on Bell Isle,
just across the river. The plan further
contemplated the burning of Richmond
and the staying of the officials OF the
Confederate Government. There were
but nine officers in the plot and the
prospects were that it would be sue
cessful. But one of the officers be-
trayed the scheme and the plot was
nipped in the bud. The traitor was
known and Streight insisted that he
should be tried by a court-martial COM
posed Of the regular officers in the
prison. The court was organized in
regular form. During the entire pro-
ceedings, which lasted but a few min
utes, Streight was busy making piece
of rope out OF some pieces of calico.
When a verdict had been decided upon
he said: "Gent!emen, you have found
the prisoner guilty, and OF course there
can be but one sentence, that OF death.
I will execute the sentence"
Among the party was an officer OF
one of the cavalry regiments named
Louis Thompson. He said that while
the accused was undoubtedly guilty,
the court was not legal one and that
it could not enforce its sentences. If
the traitor was banged his execqtloners
nosed that the record Of the court be
kept kept until one of the party escaped,
when it should be sent to Washington.
He would not allow the man to be
hanged and would sit up with him all
